John McLaughlin, Jonas Helborg/Germany 1986

During the 1986 Euro tour after the release of “Adventures In Radioland”, Mahavishnu’s second album after their reorganization and the release of “Mahavishnu” in 1984, then band member and ally Jonas… The live performance performed by the two of them with Hellborg is recorded as an official quality stereo soundboard sound source from the FM On Air Master. This gig, which took place in Germany on July 22nd, captured the duo’s stage performance with super bass player Jonas Hellborg after the passing of Jaco Pass, during the period when they were also active as Mahavishnu Orchestra. The sound created by these two geniuses, which is completely different from the band style, is truly amazing. McLaughlin’s guitar, which transcends all genres, is intertwined with Hellborg’s dynamic and delicate bass to create a moving sound, starting with a jazz standard and ending with Beck’s familiar “Goodbye Porkpie Hat.” 01.
